Pure Fibre install
Hi, So I am thinking about switching over from Shaw to pure fibre. I live in a 3 floor town home with the office being on the 3rd floor. When they install the fibre modem can this be installed on...

Community Power UserThat would entirely depend on the ability to access the third floor to pull the fibre. It is more likely the ONT will be installed at a lower level, and existing Ethernet or coax will be used to distribute internet to the other floors.
They are able to use the existing coax to distribute the pure fibre internet? is this done with the use of MOCA adapters? if so does this affect the speed of the pure fibre?
Thank you

PureFibre arrives to a single point in your dwelling. It then, as giantbrownguystates, converted to an Ethernet signal where it is distributed around the home using traditional network devices. Unless there is an existing conduit from the communication cabinet to the third floor, Telus will use existing wiring to transmit the Ethernet signal to your office.
My understanding is the modem can communicate through coax through MoCA (someone else may be able to confirm). But the ONT is a converter that converts the Fibre signal to copper compatible data. That ONT box needs to be near the modem. The fibre comes directly to the home, not near home like shaw.
